Cycle 1, Day 3 Daily Menu and Impressions
Morning Beverage: two cups of hot water with lemon.
Breakfast: two hard boiled eggs, an orange and one cup of green tea, and a probiotic supplement.
Lunch: leftover Sicilian Caponata and one cup of green tea.
Dinner: Hearty Cabbage Soup and one cup of green tea.
Exercise: 17 minutes of squats and arm weights.
17 Day Diet Impressions: I'm on day 3 of the 17 Day Diet and so far so good. I tried on my red shorts this morning hoping they would be a tad loose, no such luck. However, I do feel like I lost a little weight and feel really good. I know Dr. Mike recommends weighing yourself on this diet, but I'm not going to do that, just yet anyways. I will continue to use my little red shorts as my scale. The one thing I am really enjoying about this diet is the recommended hot water with lemon in the morning. The past couple of mornings I've had two cups, that's how much I like it. Plus, knowing that there are so many other health benefits to drinking this simple concoction besides weight loss, makes it even better! Experts claim that it rejuvenates the skin by reducing fine lines and stimulates a radiance and glow! I'm all over that claim! Whoot hoot!
